Puffy Pizza

Yikes-a-monda! What the? This, my friends, is the small hunk of frozen-solid dough I left on my kitchen counter, wrapped in buttered Saran Wrap, to thaw. That was Wednesday morning, the day I drove to Portage for a Mugs & Muffins delivery. When I got home, it was fine, just starting to puff out a bit. This (photo) is what I came home to after Magic Night on the roof top of Wilde Honda that night! I am not kidding, it actually frightened me when I switched on the light. This is the pizza dough I was thawing? An even scarier thought: Is this how big I will blow up if I eat the pizza made with this dough? I grabbed my camera so I could share it with you. NO one would ever believe it swelled up that big for real. I thought it was so funny that I couldn't even take the picture until I settled down to focus the camera. What the h-e-double-hockey-sticks am I gonna do with THIS? Turns out, I just had to fold it in on itself and let it rest a few minutes. It made an excellent pizza crust after all. Who'da thunk Rhodes Bake N-Serv could create so much levity in my kitchen? (pun intended!)
